The exit gate (and employee entrance) of the Parker Meridien. The flag is a regional one, for those speaking and identifying with the Kannada language. The hotel had suffered some minor vandalism -- broken lights out front. While we were there, Friday morning, staff was busy putting up a big Rajkumar banner on the front door. We'd walked there to try to get newspapers, but no dice. Not sure how anyone managed to buy a paper, since (almost) all the businesses were closed. More about that later.
